Hi and Help,
The motor on my 70's Maytag A606, serial # 624649US, clothes washer, is bad. Agitates fine, but only pulls for about 6 seconds in Spin cycle before motor drops out.
Stamped motor nomenclature (1st line) is : LR22286 E25382 2-05464 (2nd line): 5KH41KT47S. The frame mounted switch # is : 110BF-1
It appears that it's no longer available either new or used. Is there a plug and play replacement for this?
Thanks!

you need to check for proper operation of the clutch belt(the main belt),before digging too deep into motor replacement:The belt is specially coated and is intended to slip on the motor pulley during the spin runup,so the motor does not overload and trip off. Some things to check are:
- belt is correct clutching type and in good condition.
-motor pulley groove is smooth and clean of melted on rubber deposits
-motor carrage moves like it should
